50 days from today, the team at Spectrum Health Systems will be celebrating the company’s 50th anniversary. Since our inception, we’ve seen a lot of positive changes in the addiction treatment field and recovery community. While many improvements have been made, there’s still much work to be done.

We’ve learned a lot over the years, and to help celebrate our upcoming anniversary, we’ll be sharing 50 facts about addiction on our social media channels for the next 50 days. Follow along on Facebook or Instagram!
